Welcome to the Office of Digital Teaching and Learning
The Office of Digital Teaching & Learning provides service to local education agencies in the implementation of Technology for Education across the State.
NEW! The 2023 IT Capacity Assessment is now available!
This assessment is more than a survey - it's a tool packed with resources for K-12 IT and EdTech teams. We encourage all K-12 IT Directors to complete this assessment.
The Office of Digital Teaching and Learning works with a community of educators and solution experts in the State, with five areas of focus: 1) connectivity, 2) cybersecurity, 3) data and standards privacy, 4) economies of scales and 5) capacity building.
